What is 'Cache Mode' in version 3.0?

Cache Mode allows the handler to write files to an ephemeral local directory and update a cache index, which is faster and more efficient than direct repository-to-repository syncing for many workflows.

Does this skill perform git commits and pushes?

No, this handler focuses exclusively on file operations and cache management. It delegates git-specific actions like committing and pushing to the fractary-repo plugin to maintain a clean separation of concerns.

Can I use regex for file matching?

Yes, the handler supports both standard glob patterns and regex for sophisticated filtering of which files should be included or excluded during the sync process.

How does the deletion threshold work?

The skill includes safety checks that compare the number of files flagged for deletion against a set threshold. If the limit is exceeded, the sync is halted to prevent accidental data loss.

Content Management

Automates precise file synchronization and pattern-based updates for GitHub-hosted documentation and repositories.

About

The GitHub Repository Sync Handler is a specialized utility designed to manage the heavy lifting of file-level synchronization within the Codex ecosystem. It provides a robust implementation layer for copying files, applying complex glob or regex pattern matching, and managing local ephemeral caches. By incorporating safety features like deletion thresholds and dry-run modes, it ensures that repository updates are predictable and secure. This skill acts as a dedicated handler, separating file manipulation logic from Git orchestration to provide a deterministic workflow for cross-repository documentation management.

Key Features

Advanced glob and regex pattern matching for precise file inclusion/exclusion
Configurable safety thresholds to prevent accidental mass deletions
Automated branch checkout logic for environment-specific synchronization
Support for sparse checkouts to optimize performance with large repositories
2 GitHub stars
Dual-mode support for both ephemeral local caching and legacy git-to-git syncing

Use Cases

Synchronizing documentation from a central source repository to multiple project caches
Safely previewing repository changes using dry-run mode before committing updates
Automating the distribution of shared configuration files across various GitHub environments
